The Myra Peshtemal Towel brings a crisp geometric pattern to the beach. Choose navy blue on white for a fresh, nautical look, or caramel in warm peach and cream. We weave it from 100% organic Turkish cotton and finish it with hand-tied tassels. As a result, it feels light, absorbs well and dries fast.
100% organic cotton
Long, soft Turkish cotton grown without synthetic pesticides. As a result, it feels natural on skin and breathes in the heat.
Hand-tied tassels
Women in rural Turkiye knot every tassel by hand, the same way peshtemals have been finished for generations.
Full size: 35″ × 70″
It’s big enough to lie on. Also, you can wrap it as a sarong or use it as a bath sheet at home.
Light and quick-drying
It weighs about 300 g (11 oz). Because of the flat weave, it dries in a fraction of the time thick terry needs.
Why people switch to a peshtemal — and stay
- It dries fast. Hang it up after a swim, and it’s usually dry again before you pack up.
- Sand shakes right off. Because the weave is flat, sand doesn’t cling the way it does to terry loops.
- It packs small. Once folded, it takes about the space of a T-shirt in a tote or carry-on.
- It does more than dry you. For example, use it as a sarong, a scarf, a picnic throw or a light blanket.
- It gets softer. In fact, the cotton relaxes and absorbs better with each of the first few washes.
- It’s made the traditional way. Above all, it’s woven in Turkiye and finished by hand, not mass-printed.
How you’ll use your Myra Peshtemal Towel
Beach and pool
Spread it on a lounger or the sand. Then wrap it around you as a sarong on the walk to lunch.
Travel
Because it adds almost no weight to a suitcase, it’s an easy extra for hotels, cruises and weekend trips.
Bath and spa
First, it’s a lighter alternative to heavy bath towels. It’s also a favorite after the sauna or on a yoga mat.
Picnics and cool evenings
Lay it on the grass as a throw. Later, drape it over your shoulders when the sun goes down.

Why Turkish cotton?
Peshtemals began in the Turkish hammam, where bathers needed a cloth that was light, absorbent and quick to dry. Turkish cotton suits that job because its long fibers make a smooth, strong yarn. As a result, a flat-woven peshtemal stays soft and holds up well to years of use. Our Myra is woven in Turkiye from organic cotton and finished by hand. To learn more, read our Peshtemal Towels guide.
Care
- First, machine wash warm with similar colors.
- Then tumble dry low, or line dry in the shade.
- Skip bleach and fabric softener, because softener coats the fibers and makes them less absorbent.
- Finally, if a tassel loosens, simply retie the knot by hand.
Questions we get asked
Does a peshtemal absorb as well as a terry towel?
It absorbs well, just differently. A terry towel holds a lot of water, while a peshtemal wicks it and lets it go fast. Therefore, for the beach, travel and the gym, most people find it more practical.
Will it feel stiff at first?
New flat-woven cotton can feel crisp. However, it softens noticeably after the first few washes and keeps getting better with use.
Is it big enough to lie on?
Yes. In fact, at 35″ × 70″ it’s the size of a large bath sheet, so it covers a standard sun lounger.
Can I use it as a bath towel every day?
Of course. Many customers switch to peshtemals at home because they dry quickly and never smell damp.

It is amazing! I went to the OBX on a trip and the towel is easy to pack, extremely soft, and sand just fell of the towel. I also used it as a blanket on cold mornings. My mom used it for yoga on the beach and loved it! I may bring it on every trip to use as a clean blanket for the bed or dirty plane. They also have it pre washed, so you can give it as a gift.

“I am completely in love with the Myra Peshtemal Towel! The jacquard yarn-dyed weave and the beautiful hand-tied tassels—crafted by local women in rural Turkey—give it an incredibly high-end, authentic boutique aesthetic. It adds a gorgeous touch of style whether it is hanging in my bathroom or laid out on the sand.
